A red 2023 Volkswagen Atlas



The 2023 VW Atlas is a massive three-row SUV with plenty of head, shoulder, and leg room in every row. The modern design of this three-row SUV boasts crisp lines and a raked roofline that creates a sharp profile. As a result, this SUV looks incredible from every angle and ensures its passengers are comfortable in every seat. Read on to learn more about why your next family vehicle should be the Volkswagen Atlas.

1. Powertrain Options

The ’23 VW Atlas has two available powertrains. The first engine available is the 2.0L turbocharged V6, which produces an incredible 235 horsepower. This engine also creates a maximum torque of 258 lb-ft. The second engine available is the large 3.6L V6 that delivers a massive 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of maximum torque. These powertrains are both paired with a smooth 8-speed automatic Tiptronic transmission.

2. Drive Mode Selector

The ’23 VW Atlas boasts a drive mode selector. This dial allows you to easily switch between four available all-wheel drive modes to pick the mode that best suits the current driving conditions. The first mode is Snow mode. The second available mode is On-Road mode. Next, you have the available Off-road mode followed by the final Off-road custom mode. These driving modes ensure that you are never caught off guard when road conditions change.

3. Safety Cage

Our vehicles tend to carry our most precious cargo – our families. This means that it’s vital that you own a vehicle that is engineered to keep you safe when the unthinkable happens. The ’23 VW atlas has been redesigned and engineered to do just that with a safety cage. The rigid safety cage of this SUV includes front and rear crumple zones.

The crumple zones work to absorb energy in a crash, so it is not distributed to the bodies inside the vehicle. Instead, the rigid safety cage takes the energy from the collision and distributes it away from the passengers in the car. This is an excellent feature that helps to give you peace of mind while you are on the road.

4. Intelligent Crash Response System

In addition to its other safety features, the ’23 VW Atlas also boasts ICRS or the Intelligent Crash Response System. The ICRS system works in the event of an accident that causes the airbags to deploy. Once the airbags have been deployed, ICRS kicks in to shut off your fuel pump, unlock the vehicle’s doors, and activate your hazard lights. The ICRS system helps keep you safe by reacting when you might be unable to.
